Mathews seemed convinced/relieved at the end of the interview.

1. No shit? I missed it. I just got in from work.

I did just hear Ed Rendell say there were like 100,000 people at the rally in PA today? MAN! What a crowd!

[napi21]

8. MSNBC's been saying all day ther were between 100 and 120 thou.

I've not seen anyone dispute that. Even the police and firemen said it was over 100,000.

[smiley_glad_hands]

12. Thats gotta be the largest so far.eom

[Kierkegaard]

13. Unbelievable!

Bet Shrubby is looking for his teddy bear right about now.

[Gloria]

16. ABC said 30,000...and Jennings implied it was the largest he'd had

IN WEEKS...like he's been getting poor crowds!! Shit, here in little Las Cruces on Saturday, we had 17,000!!

[Zen Democrat]

24. Ha Ha -- Bush had the Jacksonville stadium 1/3 full and CNN called it

an "incredible" crowd, the largest of the president's campaign. I did notice the qualifier about the "president's" campaign. And now today in Philadelphia is just mind-blowing.

Expect to see a few boils on Bush's face in the coming days.

[DODI]

2. I am glad I'm not the only who saw it that way! What a great

interview. What a resolute leader we are going to have - finally. I love John Kerry!

[Doctor_J]

5. i wish Gore would bring his cable network up

so that dems like tweety could work honestly, without pandering to Rove.

[tabasco]

19. Gore would never hire a gutless wonder like tweety.

Tweety has displayed his utter lack of principles or moral courage. There are lots of young journalists with backbone ready to restore integrity to their profession.

[Fluffdaddy]

14. Thanks guys

[Robert Oak]

21. Just saw this awesome, mathews was sold powerful interview

Kerry exclusive interview today.

Had a real "emotional" impact like mathews suddenly realized what
Kerry was saying was really true and implied "ok, you've got my vote completely".

[blueblitzkrieg]

22. Just turned on Hardball.

13 minutes in. I haven't miss it yet, have I??

[Cha]

25. Unlike katie couric's interview on the GE- today show!

Just read this on democrats.com..

"MEDIA FRAUD: Katie 'Attack Poodle' Couric's 'Interview' with Kerry a Bush Campaign-Pumping Ambush
We watched Katie 'Bush Attack Poodle" Couric play "journalist" this AM (she seems to think that a dark dress and glasses perched on her nose is all it takes), interviewing John Kerry. Couric's interview was essentially a hatchet job - she assumed an arrogant, harping tight-jawed manner, looking much older and harder-faced than we've ever seen her. Her "questions" were essentially regurgitations of Bush campaign/Rush Limbaugh accusations. Then Dick Cheney came on with the "last word" (of course), and was fed only questions he WANTED to answer, all directed against Kerry. Selected attack dog clips were spread liberally about the network. Newsmax, CNS and other rightwing sites are spreading the "ambush bytes" ("Katie Couric doubtful" of Kerry; "Couric attacks Kerry," etc.) TELL KATIE COURIC AND TODAY and tell them what you think of them! [e-mail]"

[jefferson_dem]

23. No msnbc here. On a WHORE rating (1-10), what would you give Matthews?

[Clinton Crusader]

26. I broke my Tweety Moratorium to watch and I felt that too..

Tweety seemed almost - DARE I SAY THIS? - to be really listening, convinced, impressed, sold, I dont know the right word.

:kick:

[GRLMGC]

27. Is it at the very beginning?

I'm 20 mins into the program

[marlakay]

28. I didn't know his brother was such a strong repub

he probably has been getting hit by him for years. Time to be tough tweety!

[Robert Oak]

29. Yes, at very beginning of shore, Whore, 1, think genuine offguard

[hyphenate]

30. I pretty much think Chris Matthews

did a full turnaround at the Democratic Convention. I would say he saw suddenly what the world would be like with another 4 years of the assclown and finally decided to play it straight from then on in. Don't forget that Matthews supported Kerry completely while those lying assholes did the Swift Boat ads, and I think that was a "moment of Zen" for him. It appears he has more integrity than most of the Media Whores, even to this day.

[GRLMGC]

31. Remember

After the Republican convention, Matthews said something like "God help John Kerry" after Bush's speech. I personally think he talks out of his ass and I don't take anything he says to heart, positive or not.
